Jane Severance edit
Jane Severance is an American author of children's literature and an educator. She has published three books for young readers, including her first work, When Megan Went Away (1979), the first children's picture book to include LGBT characters. Her works, all of which include lesbian characters, deal with parental separation (When Megan Went Away), non-nuclear communal parenting (Lots of Mommies, 1983), and parental alcoholism (Ghost Pains, 1992).

This proposed good topic covers the pioneering author Jane Severance and her two notable works. Her third book hasn't been written about in more than passing since its release in 1992, so at this point I don't believe it meets the WP:GNG. If it ever does receive greater coverage (or if Severance publishes any further works that do) then they would be suitable for addition to this topic. However, this topic currently encompasses a complete and coherent set of articles related to Severance and her work based on all available information on her.

- Support: It doesn't look like there's been much published commentary on "Ghost Pains"; I could only find one interview with the author in which that book was a minority of what was discussed. If any of her other works reach notability, it would need to be supplemented. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 01:38, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support: All of proper status, and yeah if there is commentary on the other book then it would need to be included. Idiosincrático (talk) 03:34, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support - From my search, I'd agree that Ghost Pains doesn't meet WP:GNG. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:46, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
